.500 Jeffery is a big-game rifle cartridge that first appeared around 1920, and was initially introduced by the August Schuler Company, a German firm, under the European designation "12.7×70mm Schuler" or ".500 Schuler".
When offered by the famed British outfitter W.J. Jeffery & Co, it renamed the .500 Jeffery to be more palatable to British hunters and sportspeople following World War One.
